Local Biodiversity Action Plan for Belfast

Biodiversity is the total variety of life on Earth.

It includes everything from people to plants and animals to micro-organisms and it also covers genetic variation and habitats.

Belfast's Local Biodiversity Action Plan (LBAP) is a way of encouraging people and organisations to work together to deliver action for biodiversity locally.

We've put together a short four minute video which explains more about biodiversity and what you can do to help.

You will need Windows Media Player, Quicktime or Real Player to view our biodiversity video.

All videos are streamed at 150 kilobits per second.

For maximum quality, we recommend viewing our Windows Media version in the original video window. 2010 is the International Year of Biodiversity and the theme is 'do one thing'.

You can find out what we're doing to improve biodiversity in Belfast by reading our action plan below.

To order a copy of the plan, contact Orla Maguire on 028 9072 6345 (extension 6652) or email parksinfo@belfastcity.gov.uk
